The Senate needs to pump out a CR since the current one expires on 17 Nov. Hey, since they've got to one anyway, why not put it out and then concur with H. Con. Res 496?
With a huge changeover of committees in both houses, that's the likely scenario. I will keep all informed.

What does it all mean?

11:02 A.M. -
Mr. Lewis (CA) moved to suspend the rules and pass the resolution.

H. Res. 1078:
congratulating the St. Louis Cardinals on winning the 2006 World Series

At the conclusion of debate, the Yeas and Nays were demanded and ordered. Pursuant to the provisions of clause 8, rule XX, the Chair announced that further proceedings on the motion would be postponed.


=========================================

At least congress has the issues with the upmost importance on the docket. :eek:

The 109th Congress ends. All bills not passed prior to recess die.
The 110th Congress starts on 3 Jan with a clean slate; no bills carry over from the previous session.
Age 60 rule remains intact.

Thank you.

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Yeah, I wrote all of that before the text of 496 was published; my bad.
The Senate won't be back in session until the 5th of Dec; that gives them less than 15 work days to pass HR 5576 and get it reconciled between the House and Senate versions. Tall order; very unlikely.

has anyone seen rjlavender on these posts reciently

Why question good fortune?
